Resumen
La etnomicología es una rama de la etnobiología dedicada a estudiar el papel de los hongos en las diversas culturas. El estudio de los nombres que un pueblo aplica a los elementos de su entorno es útil como punto de partida para dilucidar patrones nomenclaturales subyacentes y con ello aproximarse a la manera en que la gente los conceptualiza, percibe, valora y clasifca. En Argentina, y particularmente en Córdoba, son escasos y fragmentarios los datos disponibles sobre los vínculos y conocimientos que los diferentes grupos humanos poseen sobre los hongos. Para contribuir a cambiar esta situación, se realizó una investigación etnomicológica con los campesinos serranos del poblado de La Paz. Se trabajó con un enfoque cualitativo; los datos se recopilaron mediante entrevistas abiertas, recorridos por el entorno y observación participante. Se registraron 26 nombres locales para 31 especies fúngicas estudiadas; éstos se analizaron lingüísticamente. Se encontró que los criollos agrupan a dichas especies en 9 categorías nombradas en base a, principalmente, características morfológicas y al sustrato. A partir de los resultados se propone un primer esquema etnoclasifcatorio de las especies, donde se observa que las categorías vernáculas en ocasiones se traslapan y no conforman un sistema absolutamente jerarquizado.
Ethnomycology is considered a subfield of ethnobiology that studies the roles of fungi in different cultures. The study of the names that people give to the elements of their environment is a useful starting point for elucidating the underlying nomenclatural patterns, and for understanding the ways in which people conceptualize, perceive, value and classify them. In Argentina, and specifically in the province of Córdoba, the data available in the literature about the relationships and knowledge of fungi among different peoples are scarce and fragmentary. In order to contribute to modify this situation, a qualitative ethnomycological research was carried out among peasants of La Paz, which focused on the study of those topics. Data were collected through open interviews, walks through the area and participant observation. 26 local names were registered for the 31 fungal species that were studied. Names were linguistically analyzed, and results show that peasants group these species in nine categories, based mainly on morphological and substrate characteristics. Based on these results, an ethnoclassificatory scheme of the species is proposed, which shows that vernacular categories occasionally overlap and do not define an absolutely hierarchical system.
